Nice looking garden beds Jay.Outdoor shenanigans View attachment 18996619
I gotta have raised beds here it gets so cold at night sometimes so it definitely helps. Especially my tomatoes. Never had luck putting them directly in the ground. Squash and beans do well however in the ground here.Nice looking garden beds Jay.
Have you ever grown weed in that area? Seems if tomatoes have an issue, weed might too.I gotta have raised beds here it gets so cold at night sometimes so it definitely helps. Especially my tomatoes.

I have one plant that does well outdoors here, most of thr time I try to plant near a swamp, they hold heat a little better than say, on top of a mountain. It was 43° here last night.Have you ever grown weed in that area? Seems if tomatoes have an issue, weed might too.
Thank you and welcome! I'm just a guy who loves to garden, sometimes building stuff though I'm not that good at it. Stop by anytime coffee is on and couple joints rolled.Awesome stuff you have going on here in this journal...
I have a theory near my septic tank the grass always grows faster there in early spring than the rest of my yard. I believe the heat from the tank warms the ground faster there. I know exactly where the access hole is so I'm planting those boxes on top of my septic tank to see if I can squeeze a few extra weeks out of the seasonHave you ever grown weed in that area?

Yes the gophers love my veggies. I've tried live trapping them and relocating them but they always find their way back. Chipmunks too. They steal my Strawberries. Uhhhg I'm sorry about the spider mites. Maybe a pulley has a bad bearing? Just a thought.Somehow missed your updates. I haven’t had cause to use polyurethane in many years. Looks great!
Got my mower parts. The new belt lasted half the yard and snapped. Second New belt lasted the entire mow.
I’m dealing with spider mites in my grow now. Grrrrrrr.
Good luck outdoors. You need chicken wire or something to keep critters and banditos away?
Blondie, I had an issue with belts wearing out quickly. My deck wasn't level. Once I leveled it on a flat surface my belt lasted almost 2 seasons.Somehow missed your updates. I haven’t had cause to use polyurethane in many years. Looks great!

Some of them are pressure treated, others are red oak/cherry/maple I treated with a one coat sealer. So far I like them they will be sturdy being hardwood. I'll be using metal brackets inside as wellAre you using pressure treated lumber or? I actually been thinking to build something similar to what you have.
